Merry Christmas!
We had a beautiful Christmas with all four kids home this year. It’s been a lot of years since we’ve all been together for Christmas. Keira was quite sick with influenza and we did everything we could to make sure nobody else-especially Tate caught it. We made it! K is back on her feet and TJ headed back to Milwaukee yesterday. He was just hired as a firefighter in Whitewater, WI. He’s worked so hard and we’re so proud of him. Keira just passed her national EMT boards and will continue to advanced EMT this coming semester. Drew is home now for his last college semester for an internship and hopes to land full time in Colorado after college graduation in May.
Tate had a great Christmas. She built a gingerbread house, helped with Christmas Eve food and made it to church. I’m having a lot of trouble the last couple days keeping her BP up and keeping her awake. We need extra prayers she’s not getting sick again. We’re heading for a family vacation right after new Years to Check off another bucket list item and need her healthy.
We hope you had a blessed Christmas celebrating the birth of the one who loves you most. A tiny baby born for each of you We have so much to give continual thanks for. We love you all and pray as we enter this new year, you take time to love the people around you and give thanks for all the tiny joys each day. Thanks for sticking with us and keeping Tate in your prayers.
